Cambridge University researcher Nadia Mohd-Radzman believes that broad beans, a nutritious and sustainable crop, could significantly improve mental health in the UK.
These beans are rich in protein, fiber, and iron, and contain chemicals linked to positive changes in mood and emotions.
Mohd-Radzman is launching a campaign to promote the broad bean, including improving its varieties, providing recipes, and educating the public about its benefits.
She hopes to convince people to embrace this underappreciated legume, which could contribute to better mental well-being in the nation.
